Specifically, it looks the most like a Thunderbird from that period. Proving once again that designing a truly "futuristic" car (more than about 5 years out) is really a Fool's Errand, since nobody can predict future styling trends with exactitude. But it does produce really cool looking prototypes.

Plus, I don't care how air conditioned that canopy is- the occupants are going to be cooked under that thing. I do, however, love it as an example of the Year 2000 as seen from the mid-fifties.

This was back in the fifty's when nuclear accidents were still not fully understood and the atom was still fun. Just think about all the potential Chernobyl incidents we could of had at a minor fender benders. I’m not sure why it was not mentioned in the
